I’m looking for a Linux distribution that is:

1. Completely beginner-friendly out of the box (includes codecs, NVIDIA drivers, and useful system tweaks like ntsync, preempt=full, etc.).

2. Ships with vanilla GNOME.

3. Provides up-to-date packages.

4. Supports Flatpak alongside traditional package management.

Fedora comes close, but it’s not ideal since it requires manual setup for codecs and NVIDIA drivers.

Mint is not up to date nor it comes with gnome

1) You can install that shitty gnome if you wish. That's the advantage of any gnu Linux distro 2) what so mean by not up to date? apt update & apt dist-upgrade makes you always up-to-date. Do you want rolling release distro?

I want a distro that comes with GNOME. Which part don’t you understand?

Mint is almost always outdated compared to upstream. What I want is not necessarily a rolling release, but something close to upstream versions of packages, something like Fedora or Arch.

Fuck Mint. It doesn’t even have a proper Wayland session yet.

I myself using Arch Linux rn. I just want a distro to offer newbies and no i won't expect them to manually install a desktop environment.
